I like this deck but I think you should consider these cards which I think are essential for Doran decks:
Nyx-Fleece Ram
Tower Defense
Spellskite
Abrupt Decay
Vines of Vastwood

This deck is also naive in many respects.
It offers zero methods of protecting Doran and, aside from four paths, has no disruption. It's almost a guaranteed loss against a combo deck and almost a guaranteed loss against control. I'm sure your army of 0/4s will look very scary when Doran is struggling to stay on the field against Hero's Downfall, Abrupt Decay, and Path to Exile, etc. Even two burn spells would do the trick and trust me, people will try to lightning bolt Doran all the time. Especially when you are throwing down a bunch of 1drops and they can see you have no cards in hand.

I'm sure it functions well as a rush deck against aggro but to me it just seems like an inferior version of Red Deck Wins.

I've recently become really interested in this deck so take a look at mine and tell me what you think.

It's still very much a work in progress, undergoing many changing in just the last few hours, but I think I'm getting close to something competitive.
